The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel blissful. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find two interesting books published in the 1300s - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of that period. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Almost Coco's Sour Cream Dressing recipe.
